Green Pulao

As my blogger buddy Pooja said, winter in green. So I thought why I don’t try cooking some green dish. After scratching my head and also my hubby’s head I thought why I don’t try some green rice for our lunch box. So I rushed into my kitchen and opened my treasure chest which happens to be my fridge and started taking out whatever green veggies available there. Well, I had Coriander leaves, Mint leaves, Green Chillies, Dill, Green Peas and Broccoli… Wait a second, broccoli? Well, why not? If we can make cauliflower rice then why not with broccoli? So with this thought in mind and backing up from my sweetheart I went into a mission of creating my own version of ‘Green Pulao’.

Final Verdict:Green Pulao with broccoli as my experimental addition turned out a huge success with my hubby and me. The mix and match of whole spices with herbs and sweetness of peas and broccoli was amazing. I’m happy that I added broccoli because the dark green colour of it complimented the light green of other ingredients mixed with rice and also the tender taste of broccoli cooked with herbs and whole spices were amazing. Over all, a great tasty rice dish which I’m happy to cook again and again…;)

hi trupti,none of the veg or herbs dominate here... min+coriander+dill+chillies and peas+broccoli compliment one another... so give it a try.. kids will love it coz its got little sweetis taste to it:)cheerssupriya

Supriya, ths is really a good idea...the brocolli speciallyI have tried rice with veggies, but because of the pungent smell of brocolli I was not sure if it would hamper the flavour of the rice.I should make this,very healthy too

Doh! I just made a batch of Trupti's Broccoli Methi curry last night. Ah well. This will have to wait until next week. For awhile I didn't know if I wanted to make your broccoli soup or trupti's curry. But will be posting it up soon.Btw, when I said Krishna will be missing you...I was talking about my Krishna (my hubby's name is Krishna as well!) as I will start to slack off! :) lol! both our hubbies have same name!
